Photos and videos: Jibba Jabba Rail Jam

HOUGHTON -- Undaunted by the cold temperatures this weekend, competitors and spectators turned out for the third annual Jibba Jabba Rail Jam snowboarding competition in downtown Houghton on Saturday, Jan. 15.

The Rhythm Skate Shop sponsored the event, along with several Houghton businesses.

And some more action:


Nice turns!

Great balance!

Thanks to the sponsors ...

And across the Portage Canal, lots of skiers were enjoying the snow on Mont Ripley!

The young snowboarder hitting the wall is my son, Tom Cowell! He's 23 years old now! I'm glad I found this blog post. I was searching for old Jibba Jabba posts. My boys competed every year that it ran. Great event! Glad it's back!
